Fluid drop ejector and method

Abstract: An improved fluid drop ejector is disclosed which includes one wall including a thin elastic membrane having an orifice defining a nozzle and elements responsive to electrical signals for deflecting the membrane to eject drops of fluid from the nozzle.

A programmable multizone gas injector for single-wafer semiconductor processing equipment

Abstract: A programmable multizone fluids injector for use in single-wafer semiconductor processing equipment including an injector having a plurality of orifices therein which are divided into a number of separate zones or areas. These zones or areas are connected by means of appropriate passageways and conduits to a source of process fluids. Each of the separate conduits has at least one flow control device located therein for independently controlling the amounts and ratios of process fluids flowing into each zone. The fluid control devices are responsive to input signals so that the fluid flow rates from the orifices can maintain a desired flow pattern within the process chamber to suit the individual needs of a particular fabrication processs.

Experimental validation of a prototype ejector designed to reduce throttling losses encountered in transcritical R744 system operation

Abstract: This study presents experimental results obtained from a transcritical R744 system using a refrigerant ejector. The results were compared to that of a conventional system with an expansion valve. For the test conditions considered, the cooling capacity and COP simultaneously improved by up to 8% and 7%, respectively. Experiments were analyzed to quantitatively assess the effects on system performance as a result of changes in basic ejector dimensions such as motive nozzle and diffuser sizing. Small angles of 5° yielded best results for the static pressure recovery of the high-speed two-phase flow entering the diffuser. Experiments confirmed that like in a conventional transcritical R744 system with expansion valve, the high-side pressure control integrated into the ejector could be used to maximize the system performance. Numerical simulation results helped identifying this basic trend. Due to difficulties in the ejector throat pressure measurements, a more practical performance metric was introduced in order to quantify overall ejector efficiencies. According to this definition, the prototype ejector was able to recover up to 14.5% of the throttling losses.

Transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle with ejector-expansion device

Abstract: An ejector expansion transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle is proposed to improve the COP of the basic transcritical CO2 cycle by reducing the expansion process losses. A constant pressure mixing model for the ejector was established to perform the thermodynamic analysis of the ejector expansion transcritical CO2 cycle. The effect of the entrainment ratio and the pressure drop in the receiving section of the ejector on the relative performance of the ejector expansion transcritical CO2 cycle was investigated for typical air conditioning operation conditions. The effect of different operating conditions on the relative performance of the ejector expansion transcritical CO2 cycle was also investigated using assumed values for the entrainment ratio and pressure drop in the receiving section of the ejector. It was found that the COP of the ejector expansion transcritical CO2 cycle can be improved by more than 16% over the basic transcritical CO2 cycle for typical air conditioning operation conditions.
